\"\"The State Comptroller’s Office says the City of Dunkirk<\/strong> Treasurer and Common Council missed out on revenues and fees by not properly enforcing or monitoring delinquent water, sewer and tipping fee balances.<\/p>\n

The audit released by Comptroller Tom DiNapoli<\/strong>‘s office said after a review of 30 accounts, approximately $39,700 in additional penalties should have been charged.
